Rail Shoulder

The rail shoulder is embedded in concrete at the time of casting, it’s used to grips the clip effectively and provides lateral support to rail.

Casting Shoulder

How to make the Rail Shoulder? – Lost Foam Technology

Lost Foam is a unique casting process which is ideally suited to the manufacturing  of  geometrically  complex  parts  with  one  cast.  The main  characteristic of the process – as already stated in  the name “Lost Foam” – is the use of “lost” patterns made of organic foam materials. The patterns are inserted into a mould material that is free of bonding agents by using vibration compression. During casting, the pattern is then pyrolysed by the molten steel, thereby creating a hollow space which the molten steel fills up. In this way, an exact metallic cast copy of the pattern is created. In addition to the possible geometric complexity, Lost Foam cast parts distinguish themselves through their excellent surface qualities and dimensional accuracy.

Lost Foam Procedure

Process 1: Pattern Creation

Process 2: Pattern Clustering

Process 3: Coating

Process 4: Drying

Process 5: Compaction

Process 6: Casting Molten Metal

Process 7: Cooling And Extraction

Process 8: Separation

Process 9: Shot Blasting And Fettling
